House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) is aiming to schedule a floor vote Tuesday on his bid to be speaker, Punchbowl News reports.
Jordan won the GOP nomination to be speaker last week but 55 House Republicans said they wouldn’t vote for him on the floor in a secret ballot. Jordan and his allies have spent the weekend trying to win over his opposition. But there is still a healthy pocket of House Republicans who are opposed to Jordan’s bid.
A floor vote would put GOP lawmakers on record about his nomination.
